Q: Morning ... well the 'cat is out of the bag' much to my dismay our 2016 TFSA contribution will be back to the $5500 limit ...an added * was that 2017 would have inflation written into our limit amount. Basically that is how we got $5500 from $5000 was because of inflation. My question is would I be correct in presuming that 2017 may go up $500 ? and also if I sell from Non registered now can I buy the same stock in TFSA on January 4th or do I have to wait 30 days. TY for all you do during these most troublesome times.

Q: I see there have been a few comments about the new TFSA limits put forth by the Liberal Gov't. The 2016 limit has been reduced back to $5,500 however, they are keeping the 2015 limit of $10,000 in place. The big concern was they would pull back the $10,000 limit that the Conservative gov't put in place, yes going forward starting in 2016 it will be $5500 but they will not remove the $10,000 for 2015. This contribution room will always remain here, in other words if you didn't make a TFSA contribution in 2015 you can put $15,500 in 2016.
Q: I have about $55,000 invested in US stocks that I bought when the dollar was almost at par. I like all the stocks I have and I consider them blue chip long term holds and I prefer not to sell them. My question is do I sell them or keep them? I have CSCO, INTC, JNJ, SBR and DIS. Also if I keep them do I keep collecting the dividends in US and building a US cash portion which is what I am doing now or keep the stocks and convert the dividends to Canadian dollars. I am so torn with this since I am up like almost 30 percent on all these US stocks. Your thoughts please? I debate this everyday with no answer.

Q: Hello- I found this article interesting and concerning:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/inside-the-market/big-yields-in-banks-preferred-share-offerings-raise-questions/article27653310/?cmpid=rss1
In your opinion, what does this say about the banks' need to raise capital, and about their long term view of interest rates and the economy here in Canada? Should we be nervous?

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
My direct Energy exposure is down to 2.5%. The only 2 that I have now are TOU and RMP. What are their survivability? Do you recommend I replace them for anything else? And what other company would you recommend for the other another 2.5% of my portfolio or would you recommend topping up my existing 2? Thank you,
Wes.

Q: Comparing CU, EMA and FTS three Canadian Electric Utilities over a 1 year period shows CU is down almost 25%, FTS down 6% and EMA up 6.5% (not counting dividends but EMA leads here as well). Can you explain why CU is under performing by such a wide margin. They do have 2 coal fired generating stations in Alberta. Which of there three would you buy here for a long term hold and why?
Appreciate your insight as usual.

Q: Hi Team, Thanks for the super fast response on my LB question. In closing you say: "We would not see it as an must-own name." I am wondering if you could please expand on that comment. My information shows this stock is a dividend "aristocrat" and LB's stock price performance has exceeded that of the major banks YTD and over the last 1 year. Over the last five years it is a middle of the pack performer. Any further thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks again, Michael

Q: Hi Team, Can you please let me know what you think about LB's just-announced Treasury Offering of Common Shares via Bought Deal at $52.00. Do you know why they are raising the money and why the shares are being offered below the current market value of $53.89? Is this a positive step for the company and/or shareholders?
Thank you, Michael

Q: I am doing some bottom feeding for income - but am wary of being burned!
so, could you shed some light on the relationship between Enbridge ENB and Enbridge Energy Partners EEQ. I know you are positive on ENB. Would that therefore apply to EEQ as well - or are they different entities?
EEQ of course has been pummelled like most other energy names, and now shows a yield of 11%. So is EEQ buyable here or too good to be true?
Thanks for your help.
